==Reception==
Generation VI advanced competitive play by introducing Mega Evolution, making already powerful Pokémon such as {{p|Rayquaza}} and {{p|Mewtwo}} stronger, and giving unviable Pokémon such as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Mawile}} a use in the metagame. The addition of the Fairy-type nerfed several previously prominent Pokémon like {{p|Hydreigon}} and {{p|Scrafty}}, and allowed others such as {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Azumarill}} to rise in prominence.
Generation VI was largely well-received for hearkening back to Generation I, and making older Pokémon popular again.
